Well, its time for the next chapter.
Bad Player got it right, Camilla is the secound Shadow Rider, but you will see that she has mellowed out a little bit.
And last chapter, I did take some liberties on the use of Quick Attack.

I've heard about a lot of different things that have happened in the dueling world.
One of the most bizare took place at the very school I go to right now, a group called the Shadow Riders tried to free the Legendary Demons, but in the end failed.
Little did I know that one of the Shadow Riders never left the school.
And that she is a teacher here.
I hope I'm not getting in over my head by dueling her.

CHAPTER 5:
VAMPIRE LADY
0000000000
00000
Our heroes are sitting in the middle of a Dueling History class, taught by a teacher named Mr. Barnes.
"And about 10 years ago, in our own Duel Academy, the world was threatened by a group that called themselves the Shadow Riders," Barnes says.
He turns on a projector, showing a picture of a man with a black mask covering his face, with long brown hair, and wearing a black outfit.
"Nightshroud, the first Shadow Rider, used a Dark Dragon deck, was defeated by Jaden Yuki, Nightshrowd later turned out to be a student who had dissapeared, and was posessed."
The screen changes, this time it is of a woman with long green hair, and wearing a purple dress.
"Camulla, the Vampire Mistress, she managed to defeat two duelists including Zane Truesdale, the top duelist in the academy at that time, was eventualy defeated by Jaden Yuki as well, unconfirmed reports say that she was the last of an ancient race of Vampires, that where mostly killed off years ago."
The screen changes again to a muscular woman wearing a bizare outfit, and having purple hair pulled back into a short ponytail.
"Taniya, the Amazon Maiden, very bizare this one, she first dueled Bastion Misawa, and cast a spell of some sorts on him, but no one is sure of its effect, Jaden also defeated Taniya, some say that she was in reallity a tiger."
The screen changes to show a man with medium length pale-blue hair, and an eyepatch, wearing an outfit you would see on a thief.
"A duel spirit, the leader of the Dark Scorpions Don Zaloog, he was defeated by Chazz Princeton, and hasn't been seen since."
The screen changes to a man in egyptian clothing.
"Abidos the Third, a pharoh and at one time considered to be a great duelist, later turned out he was just lied to by his servants, he was also defeated by Jaden."
The screen changes to a man dressed in black with a silver mask.
"Titan, also called the Shadow Duelist, little is known about Titan, other than that he used some sort of fiend deck, but lost to Alexis Rhodes."
The screen changes again, this time to a man with long white hair, wearing a mask, and a silver outfit.
"Ammnel, the seventh Shadow Rider, he used an Alchemy deck similar to the one used by Rebecca Lancaster, also it is said that he was a teacher at this school, he defeated two students, Chazz Princeton and Alexis Rhodes before being beaten by Jaden."
The screen changes one last time, and shows the image of an old man with a long beard.
"Kagemaru, the leader of the Shadow Riders, some say he was the one who built the Academy, including the mechanism that guarded the Legendary Demons, he too was defeated by Jaden."
The screen shuts off.
"Your homework for tonight is to do a report on one of the Shadow Riders, if you can find the information that is, good luck."
The bell rings, and the students file out.
"Oh man, where are we going to get information on a Shadow Rider?" Rebecca says in frustration.
"Simple, by talking ta one," Marie says, comming up behind them.
"Uhh, how?" Summer asks.
"Ah'm surpised yah didn't notice it," Marie says. "One of the teachers is a former Shadow Rider."
"Seriously, who?" Summer asks.
"Ah've said too much, you will have to learn it on your own," Marie says, and walks off, leaving her friends confused.
000
"Now, who should I do a report on," Summer wonders.
"I'll do Ammnel, I'm sure I can find something on him if he used to be a teacher," Rebecca says.
"Hmm, this Nightshroud guy looks interesting," Renee says.
"I think I might do mine on Camulla, she sounds interesting, and looks a little bit familiar," Summer says. "Now if I could only..."
Suddenly her PDA goes off.
"If you want more information on the Shadow Riders, come to the Obelisk Blue duel arena after sunset," a voice says, but the person isn't shown.
"Cool, I might as well check it out," Summer says.
"Don't you find it odd that they want to see you at night?" Renee asks.
"Maybe they perfer to duel at night, I heard about this guy named Panik who worked for Maximillion Pegasus who did that," Summer says.
"Its possible, I guess," Rebecca says.
000
In a different part of the building, a figure is seated at a desk, a bat sitting on her shoulder.
"Its been awhile since I last dueled," she says to the bat. "Not since Jaden Yuki defeated me 10 years ago."
She looks at a card.
"But if I ever want to live in peace, I must test Summer."
000
A little after sunset, Summer and her friends reach the Obelisk Blue duel arena.
"Hey, where's my opponent?" Summer asks.
"Why, I am already here," a voice says.
From the shadows emerges Professor Camilla Tepes, dressed in her purple dress again.
"I'm glad you could come, Summer."
Her? It can't be, Summer thinks. "Hello Camilla, or should I say, Camulla."
"Very good," Camilla says. "Yes, at one time I was the Vampire Mistress of the Shadow Riders called Camulla, but I have changed since then. I am bound to a duty to defend this island, it is the only way I could leave the shadow realm."
"Um, okay," Summer says. "So, do you want to duel or something?"
"Yes, as was said in a popular movie series 'You do not truly know a person until you fight them,'" Camilla says, and takes her spot at the arena, Summer dues the same.
Okay Summer, remember this woman was able to beat the best duelist in the school ten years ago, so she's probably no pushover, Summer thinks, activating her duel disk.
Camilla raises her arm that holds a strange looking device, that folds out into a bat-like duel disk.
"LETS DUEL!" they say in unison.
"Since I am still your teacher, I will go first," Camilla says, and draws. "I place one card face down, and summon Zombie Werewolf (1200/1000), in attack mode!"
There is a loud howl, and a grey-furred werewolf appears.
"And that will be all."
Summer draws. "I summon Archfiend Soldier (1900/1400), in attack mode!"
A demonic soldier appears.
"Quite a match," Marie says comming in. "Camilla uses zombie, especialy vampire-themed, cards, while Summer uses the rare theme of fairies and fiends."
"That werewolf dosen't look like much though," Renee says.
"First rule of Dueling, never underestimate a monster just because it looks weak," Rebecca says.
"Same with people," Marie says, and the twins nod in agreement.
"Now, attack her werewolf, Sword of Perdition attack!" Summer commands, and the evil knight slashes at the werewolf, destroying it, lowering Camilla's life points to 3300.
"Fine, but you activated his special ability, now I can summon another one from my deck with an additional 500 attack points," Camilla says, and another werewolf appears (1700/1000). "Is that all?"
"No, I use the magic card, Tribute Doll, and sacrifice my soldier for this, Guardian Angel Joan!"
A beautiful fairy warrior appears, giving off a holy energy that makes Camilla and the Zombie Werewolf cringe, and move back.
"One card face down, and its your move."
"Most impressive child, attacking first, and then using Tribute Doll, I doubt that Jaden himself could've thought of that, then again he never was really playing with a full deck, if you know what I mean," Camilla says, drawing. "I sacrifice my werewolf to bring out, Vampire Lord!"
A vampire appears with a hiss.
"Now I remove him from the game, begone!"
The vampire vanishes.
"To bring out the mighty, Vampire Genesis!"
A huge demonic zombie appears.
"Now, attack her monster!"
"Reveal trap card, Magical Cylinder!" Summer counters.
"What? No!" Camilla says, and the attack is reversed on her, dropping her life points to 500. "Very impressive, Summer, I will place one card face down to end my turn."
Summer draws. "I give my monster a card called Blade of Damacles, raising her attack by 1000, but lowering her attack by the same number!"
A sword appears in Joan's hands.
"Now, attack her monster, Searing Light of Heaven!"
The fairy sends a blast of white energy at the monster, destroying it, and dropping Camilla's life points to 0,
"Very impressive," Camilla says. "I will help you on your assignment, but just don't reveal my identity."
"Okay," Summer says. "Not like I planned to."
Camilla smiles, and they walk off together.
000
I believe that Blade of Damacles is a creation of Cyber Commander, all credit goes to him.
All cards that Camilla used are from GX, used by, uhh, herself.
000
Well, thats done.
To test Summer's dueling skills, the top duelist in the academy challenges her to a match, can she win? Find out in, "Chaos End."
Also 10 brownie points to the person who can name the movie, and the carachter of the quote Camilla used is from.
